PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BECKHOFF EP3174-0002 - EtherCAT Box 4-Channel RTD Input Module
The BECKHOFF EP3174-0002 is an EtherCAT Box module engineered for decentralized acquisition of temperature data from resistance sensors (RTDs) in demanding industrial environments. It provides four independent channels for direct connection of 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTDs, integrating precise temperature measurement into the EtherCAT network with high resolution and real-time performance. This robust IP67-rated unit is suitable for machine-mounted applications requiring distributed I/O and environmental protection.
